"GOP Lines Up Resolutions To Undo Coal, Methane Rules" [1]

"House Republicans are preparing to vote [this] week on two resolutions undoing pollution rules issued in the closing months of the Obama administration.

Two Interior Department rules — one protecting streams from coal mining waste and another to cut methane emissions at oil and natural gas drilling sites — are the targets of Congressional Review Act resolutions due up in the House next week.

Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah), the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, called the rules “abusive, last minute regulations.”"

Devin Henry reports for The Hill January 27, 2017. [2]
